| Plot Summary of Son of the Morning |
"Grace's life was turned upside down when a vicious killer murdered her husband and brother, leaving her alone and wanted by the police. On the run and unsure why she's so mercilessly hunted, Grace works tirelessly on translating ancient douments entrusted to her shortly before the murders. With the police breathing down her neck and the killer around the next corner, Grace can only wonder what it means when she finds herself holding the key to unlock time and discovers a love that transcends centuries."
Meredith Griffin, Resident Scholar
